Lyrics for The Coin, The Stick, The Take
You’re a marked man the day you were born.
The boys in blue they sure got it out for you
When all you wanted was to live your youth
and they locked you up.
Forgot about the time you knew their truth
And like always that crooked mouth
Forever hidden behind the mask of power
Another year, another week, another day
another hour
And at the end of the day, they’ve forgotten all about you
I’m sorry my friend when they’re kicking down your front door
nowhere to run, no place to hide,
hold your pride up, high son,
even when they use the gun.
Too late another one gone.
like the water dried up from the burning sun
Another year, another week, another day
another hour.
At the end of the day
The Coin, The stick, The Take
Might get the best of you.
The Doves will be flying
and they’ll be playing your song
I’m sorry mum I wish I could tell you
We didn’t have to lose another one.
